Man (no, not Florida) shoots self in scrotum while high on meth.
WENATCHEE — Authorities say Martin Eugene Hoyer was on the second day of a methamphetamine binge when he decided to kick in a neighbor’s door to rescue her from hallucinatory “Mexicans.”
When he did so, the handgun in his waistband discharged, sending a bullet through his lower abdomen and into his scrotum, police said.
Hoyer, 51, survived the gunshot and now is charged with first-degree assault, felony harassment and four counts of unlawful possession of a firearm. He faces arraignment in Chelan County Superior Court on Monday.
Wenatchee police said Hoyer first threatened a female neighbor with the .45-caliber Taurus revolver, pointing it at her through the picture window of her apartment on South Cove Avenue around 7 p.m. Sept. 13.
